| Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) | The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) is a service that de-identifies and hosts a large publicly available archive of medical images of cancer. The imaging data are organized as “collections” defined by a common disease (e.g. lung cancer), image modality or type (MRI, CT, digital histopathology, etc) or research focus. DICOM is the primary file format used by TCIA for radiology imaging. An emphasis is made to provide supporting data related to the images such as patient outcomes, treatment details, genomics and expert analyses. | TCIA |
